    The Power of John Donne’s Poetry Louis Hunt John Carey’s description of Donne’s “power” is laudable‚ and to a certain extent‚ accurate. Carey captures the masculine nature of Donne’s tone; the vividness of Donne’s imagery; the subtle coercion of Donne’s metaphor. Carey also notes Donne’s application of syntax and rhythms‚ writing that Donne’s words‚ “are packed into the poems like boulders… Inversions and interjections fracture the run of the lines‚ necessitating a strenuous advance.” Carey
